Time 1h

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 lbs chicken thighs or breasts ( boneless, skinless)
¼ cup olive oil
2 chipotle peppers (canned) plus 2 tablespoons adobo sauce ( juice from can)
4 garlic cloves
1 shallot
1 ½ tablespoons cumin
1 tablespoon coriander
2 teaspoons chili powder
1 teaspoon dried oregano
2 teaspoons salt ( 1 teaspoon per pound)

Steps:

  • Preheat grill to medium-high.
  • Place marinade ingredients in a food processor and process into a paste. Place the chicken and marinade in a ziplock bag and massage well to mix and coat all sides well. (Or brush all sides well with marinade and place in a container.) Marinate 20 mins or up to 3 days.

SASSY SUMMER COOLER



Sassy Summer Cooler image

So I am going on a girls weekend trip to the beach. We needed a signature drink for the weekend. This is cool with a little fruitiness but not too sweet. The mint lingers and makes this so refreshing, it will be great to sip on while sitting on the beach listening to the waves and catching some sun. Note ... I didn't have access...
